I must be turning into a bit of a cynic in my old age. Each time I re-read these books, I find a few more things that irritate me. It seems to be books 5-7 that annoy me more so than 1-4. I feel like by this point in time, Harry should know better. He doesn't listen to any of the adults in his lif...
April 11 - April 19 2019I had forgotten so much of this book. I can’t believe I had but I blame the movie for that. So much was cut out. One thing I didn’t forget is the ending and I spent the whole book stealing my spine to be strong though it. I really do love this series. I can’t believe I only h...
The war against Voldemort is not going well; even Muggle governments are noticing. Ron scans the obituary pages of the Daily Prophet, looking for familiar names. Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts for long stretches of time, and the Order of the Phoenix has already suffered losses.And yet…As in all ...

⭐5 stars⭐"Do you remember me telling you we are practicing non-verbal spells, Potter?""Yes," said Harry stiffly."Yes, sir.""There's no need to call me "sir" Professor."I will never not laugh at this.
I last read The Half-Blood Prince when I was sixteen, so it's not surprising that my opinions about it have changed. More specifically, my views on characterization have changed a lot. Let's break it down. *Warning,* mild spoilers ahead.Harry: He's a lot more likeable in this novel than in previous ...
The review below was based on my first read of the Harry Potter books, ages ago and in Dutch. Updated reviews will follow after a reread (in English) I plan to do. After the first time I read the series, this has remained one of my favourites, even though the ending must have been spoilt to me at ...
Of all the books in the series so far, this is by far the one with the unhappiest, and least satisfying, ending. It seems to me that it is in fact the first half of a two-book arc rather than a closed tale in itself, which is not in any way uncommon in fantasy fiction, but took me slightly by surpri...
